Elevator and escalator installation, service, modernization, replacement and supporting world-class people flow in your buildings.

It's time to modernize.

KONE’s modernization solutions will increase their reliability, their lifespan, lower their energy costs, and can incorporate smart features such as stand-by operation and 24/7 online monitoring. Whether you choose to replace the entire installation or just individual components, KONE modernization will ensure your escalators comply with the latest standards and are as energy efficient, safe, and reliable as possible.

Modernization ensures that your escalators continue to be energy efficient, safe, and reliable. The truss may last as long as your building, but mechanical components will wear and become outdated. Modernizing steps, balustrades, and lighting will help to maintain a fresh, modern appearance.
